Resilient Truths

Dr. Bell emphasizes the importance of controlling our tongue as a way to shape our reality. She points out that many are eager to step into leadership roles but lack the personal accountability necessary to manage their own lives. Chaos arises when we allow both blessings and cursings to flow from the same heart. Dr. Bell encourages a focus on speaking life, as our words have the power to manifest the freedom and peace we desire. By aligning our speech with life-giving words, we can experience the transformation we seek in all aspects of life.

Dr. Bell shares a powerful testimony about her current struggles and the deeper spiritual lessons that have emerged from them. She reflects on how her personal storms have drawn her closer to God and led her to a season of introspection. One significant moment of revelation came when her cellphone service was disconnected, which opened the door to quiet communion with God. Through this time of reflection, she felt led to study the book of Ruth, drawing parallels to her own life and realizing that in certain areas, she has not been valued as she should be. Dr. Bell speaks on the frustration of sowing without reaping a proportional harvest, likening it to casting pearls before swine—giving freely but receiving little in return. She recognizes that some of the relationships in her life may require pruning, as they fail to acknowledge her worth. Despite these challenges, her focus remains on raising her daughter and maintaining her household, all while trying to avoid losing everything she has worked for. The storms, though challenging, are refining her purpose and trust in God’s timing.

Dr. Bell continues her teaching through the book of James, focusing on the relationship between faith and works. She explains that simply believing in something does not automatically bring it to fruition; it's the actions we take, based on our beliefs, that demonstrate our faith and align with our expectations. Works serve as the evidence of faith, showing that our belief is active and genuine. Dr. Bell emphasizes that faith alone, without accompanying actions, cannot achieve the desired outcome. For example, witnessing someone in need, such as being hungry or without clothing, is not enough—true faith compels us to act, to provide food and clothing, thereby fulfilling the need and living out our beliefs.

Dr. Bell engaged deeply with the congregation as she explained the profound meaning and significance of Holy Communion. She emphasized that this sacred act of reverence toward Christ should never be taken lightly or approached casually. Being in communion with God is a reflection of our intimate relationship with our Savior, and treating it as a mere ritual or common practice is a grave dishonor. Dr. Bell drew a parallel to how we honor and remember our loved ones who have passed, stressing that we should remember our Lord and Savior with even greater reverence. Christ, who is alive and continually intercedes for us before the Father, deserves our utmost respect and devotion during Communion. To reduce this sacred observance to a mere ceremony undermines our relationship with God and mocks the sincerity of our faith.

Dr. Bell continues the study in the book of James, focusing on the sin of showing respect of persons in the eyes of God. She explains how often people take others for granted, particularly when it comes to those who are gifted in certain areas but lack formal credentials. These individuals are often utilized for their talents but are not compensated equally as those recognized by the laws of the land. This, Dr. Bell emphasizes, is a form of disrespect and discrimination. Such individuals may be permitted to do the work but are not allowed to reap the same rewards as others. Dr. Bell further elaborates on how people might treat those who are less fortunate or how they might show favoritism towards those who are better off, while treating others as inferior. She warns that living a life of judgment can lead to discrimination against others. She reminds the congregation that we are commanded to treat our neighbors as we would want to be treated ourselves.

Dr. Bell begins by addressing some housekeeping matters, focusing on issues brought to the attention of the congregation.** She starts by addressing those who have expressed feeling tired. She emphasizes that walking in the Spirit does not cause exhaustion. Shifting to the topic of tithes and offerings, Dr. Bell reminds the congregation that tithing extends beyond monetary contributions. It also involves offering our time, energy, and service in uplifting the kingdom of God. Dr. Bell then speaks about the "suddenlies" that occur in life—those unexpected events that serve as conscious interruptions, capturing our attention. She explains that when members of the body of Christ are not operating in the roles or purposes that God has called them to, God may allow something to happen suddenly to shift their perspective. These events could manifest as financial difficulties, relational turmoil, or even chaos and confusion. For example, one might go from comfortably living on autopay to suddenly struggling to scrape together change to pay bills. Dr. Bell emphasizes that seeds sown must be cultivated to reap a harvest. She encourages the congregation to pay close attention to the sudden events that arise in life, as they carry both a message and a blessing from God.

Dr. Bell continues her teaching from the book of James, emphasizing the need for self-awareness in our relationship with God. She highlights how we can sometimes become so caught up in our desires that we mistakenly believe God is obligated to fulfill them. We often attribute every event or outcome in our lives to God's will, even when our decisions were made without seeking His guidance. Dr. Bell points out that we may enter into relationships or situations that bring us pain and then blame God for the consequences, forgetting that He may not have been the author of those choices. She underscores the importance of discerning the difference between following our own desires and aligning with God's plan, as our personal wishes might lead us away from His intended path.

Dr. Bell was in fellowship with God's Word for Life Outreach Ministries as her Bible Study group joined the service. She summarized the message and gave the benediction, reminding everyone that as people of God, we should be making an impact in the world. She encouraged some to continue operating in their own lane while urging others to find their lane and step into it. Be blessed.

Dr. Bell teaches that the physical ailments we experience may stem from the emotional and spiritual burden of carrying the world's weight on our shoulders. She emphasizes the importance of casting our cares onto God, as the daily troubles and grief we face are often too much for us to bear alone. We may not witness the move of God in our lives because we are either trying to handle everything in our own strength, lacking faith, or sitting in unbelief. The Holy Spirit, given to us as a comforter, is here to help us manage the burdens of the world. To receive the blessings of God, we must trust and believe not just in our words, but in our actions and behaviors as well.

Dr. Bell was asked to be the guest speaker at Gods’ Word for Life. Dr. Bell emphasized the importance of love and commitment in the Christian walk. To truly demonstrate the love of Christ and win souls for the Kingdom, believers must be genuine and authentic. She pointed out that many are compromising their faith and mocking God, leading to a disconnect where souls are lost while the Church remains complacent in its routines. The credibility of the Church is compromised because the world sees no distinction between itself and the Church. Dr. Bell stressed that to effectively represent God, believers must live by example, free from the influence of the world. The world cannot believe in a Church that does not live out the principles it preaches. She highlighted the problem of hypocrisy, which arises when people do not immerse themselves in the Word of God and thus fail to embody the example of Christ. Without the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to live a life of true deliverance and be freed from the sinful nature of humanity. "Being all in" encompasses not just agape love—God’s unconditional love that He commands us to have for one another—but also Phileo love, the love we choose to give to others, which creates an intimate bond, often referred to as a “soul tie.” Phileo love involves loving others as you love yourself, loving on purpose, and looking past faults to meet others' needs. It is a deliberate, compassionate love that strengthens relationships and reflects the heart of Christ. Subscribe and click the notification bell to stay updated on new messages as they are posted.

Dr. Bell's teaching focuses on navigating adversities and overcoming hindrances that delay our progress in life. She emphasizes that a relationship with the Spirit of God brings peace, and that prayer can comfort the soul. Exercising discernment is crucial in recognizing and countering the enemy's schemes, which aim to drain and desolate individuals. Dr. Bell highlights the importance of understanding that faith without work is dead. This stagnation leads to worry. Instead, she advocates for actively believing in God's provision while continuing with daily life. This involves trusting God's ability to fulfill His promises while submitting to His perfect will, even when our desires differ. She also discusses the power of choice in protecting relationships from being damaged by disappointments over tangible items. Relationships, she asserts, are more valuable and harder to replace than material possessions, which can be regained. Understanding how to navigate conflicts and dealing with manipulative individuals is essential. Dr. Bell stresses the need to learn life's lessons, discern attacks from the enemy, and recognize when we or others are not in alignment with God's will.

Dr. Bell provides a fresh perspective on the Apostle Paul’s words about being abased and knowing how to abound. He is addressing the importance of maintaining a positive mindset while enduring hardships, such as being imprisoned and facing uncertainty about life and death. The phrase "doing all things through Christ" is not about having a superpower to achieve all our desires, but rather about the strength to endure life's pressures, whether in times of scarcity or abundance. Dr. Bell explores the topic of functioning with depression, describing it as a "silent killer" and a "silent death." She highlights the increasing suicide rates since 2021 and 2022 and shares the tragic stories of four megachurch pastors who took their own lives while battling depression and anxiety. These examples emphasize the critical need for mental health awareness, even among those who advocate for it while struggling themselves. She explains that suicidal ideations can result from various factors, including malnutrition, medication side effects, mental illness, and medical conditions. Depression can affect anyone, regardless of their circumstances. Dr. Bell reveals that even the Apostle Paul experienced suicidal thoughts, as did other significant figures in the kingdom of God. Dr. Bell emphasizes that the joy of the Lord is our strength, and the Holy Spirit provides joy and guidance in the kingdom of God. Keeping our minds focused on the spirit of the Lord helps navigate depressive moods. When facing adversities, such as attacks on our livelihood or mistreatment by those close to us, we must rely on the joy of the Lord to sustain us. She emphasizes the importance of being mindful of where we plant our efforts and resources. If we are investing in individuals who manipulate and take from us without giving back, we are depleting our strength. It's crucial to avoid planting in areas where our potential harvest is being manipulated or choked out by the enemy, who often uses those close to us to undermine our efforts.

Dr. Bell explains what it means to have the love of Christ. God shows no favoritism and treats everyone the same, both believers and non-believers. Scripture advises us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, which applies not just to marriage but to any covenant. Being unequally yoked can lead to being manipulated, mistreated, or disrespected for another's gain. In Acts 10, a centurion soldier, typically seen as an enemy of the Jewish people, is depicted as a believer in Christ who behaves accordingly. This challenges the tendency to stereotype others based on their status rather than their character. Despite being employed by the Gentiles, the centurion honored and worshiped the living God. Having the love of Christ means loving everyone equally, without partiality. The world often rewards people based on credentials rather than character. Corporate America may exploit an individual's skills and knowledge without compensating them fairly if they lack formal credentials. Similarly, nations that employ undocumented workers may pay them less for more work, which is a form of social injustice and disrespect. Being kingdom-minded means treating everyone equally because the king provides for all. In a kingdom-minded community, no one is underpaid or overworked due to technicalities or lack of credentials. If one benefits from another's labor, then the laborer should receive equal benefits without excuses. Subscribe and click the notification bell to stay updated on new messages as they are posted.

Dr. Bell explains how the Spirit of God can convict those around a believer. By walking in obedience and standing firm in one’s beliefs, a believer may cause others to feel uncomfortable in their presence. This often leads some individuals to feel targeted by the believer. When the believer walks in a manner set apart from the belief system of the world, those of the world may not feel comfortable around them. Consequently, the believer is often discounted and rejected. The believer may feel they have to walk on eggshells to coexist with others who view them as a threat to their conscience. Some may distrust the believer simply because they do not respond, react, or operate in the same manner. On the other hand, conviction can lead someone to Christ if they heed the conviction and make the necessary changes to no longer feel convicted. This is why the believer should rejoice, as it signifies that a change has been made in the life of the convicted.

Dr. Bell discusses the experience of being manipulated and used by others, emphasizing the importance of discerning the spirit behind actions. She warns against trusting actions that are not based on a person's character or the Spirit of God. The gifts of the Spirit are irrevocable; they are placed within individuals even before they are formed in their mother's womb. God does not retract these gifts, even when someone is not operating within His will. Therefore, just because someone can perform actions that appear supernatural does not mean they are operating under the Spirit of God.

Dr. Bell continues her teaching on the Spirit of God, emphasizing the importance of walking in alignment with the Spirit rather than relying on our own understanding. She addresses the disparity between those who claim to possess the Spirit of God and their actions, noting that pride, unbelief, disobedience, and unrepentance are signs of not truly living in the Spirit. Dr. Bell underscores that those who do not walk in spirit and truth do not possess the Spirit of God and therefore cannot bear witness to God's power. She concludes by stating that living in fear is incompatible with walking in faith. Subscribe and click the notification bell to stay updated on new messages as they are posted.

Minister Brianna Winborn is teaching on overcoming anxiety. Having recently graduated high school and enrolled in a certified nursing assistant program, she exemplifies her message by managing her own life responsibly before stepping into the pulpit. She serves as a living testament to the importance of not being anxious and prioritizing God's plans over our own desires.

Dr. Bell begins discussing the story of the "Good Samaritan." While many are familiar with the term and some know the story, few fully grasp its message. This message was not very popular among the disciples; in fact, Luke was the only one to include it in his gospel. He did not present it as a parable taught by Jesus, leading scholars to believe that the "Good Samaritan" story was an actual event. The story is not just about performing a good deed for someone in need; it is about the grace and mercy we should extend to our neighbor as believers. This raises the question: who do we consider our neighbor? The story challenges our perceptions, revealing that our neighbor is not just the friend next door or someone within our community. The "Good Samaritan" teaches that everyone, including our enemies, is our neighbor. This narrative exposes the true nature of our hearts and calls us to show compassion and kindness to all, regardless of our differences.

Dr. Bell discusses how being obedient to the Spirit of God enables us to walk in His power. She emphasizes that God's protection surrounds His people, and His Spirit comforts us, helping us endure challenges. She references the Apostle Paul, who remained obedient even up to the point of experiencing a shipwreck. While obedience may come at a cost, the sacrifices we make are insignificant compared to the redemption and rewards provided by God.
